    The external (hydrophobic) filter removes particles and moisture from the inlet Flow. Every three hours by the clock (00:00, 03:00, 06:00…) the Titan 2 will stop to measure the ambient pressure conditions to correctly adjust for flow control. Important note: bump testing is inadvisable at these times as external pressure sources will affect the pressure...
